Route 203 is a Sinnoh route located between Jubilife City and Oreburgh Gate. It is the first route where the player gets to fight the region's rival character, Barry. However beyond that, there is nothing of interest.
Notable miscellanies
Barry
After speaking to Barry in Route 218, he'll be waiting at the entrance of Route 203. However this time, he will fight the player. Just like May of the previous region, his team will vary depending on the Starter Pokémon the player chose, with his second Pokémon having the type advantage over the player's choice. He will leave after being defeated.
